How to access GPS data in Mobian

The text based clients gpsmon and cgps will give you all the typical GPS statistical information. The NMEA output that gpsd needs is on /dev/ttyUSB1. The config file is in /etc/default/gpsd

The antenna is very weak and it will take a long time outdoors even with a clear view of the sky to get a lock. You will want to run the AGPS proof of concept script to speed up the initial lock. https://gist.github.com/alastair-dm/2632...e555fa6628

You can also talk directly to the modem via AT commands to get a location manually, It is what the AGPS script uses. https://sixfab.com/wp-content/uploads/20...l_V1.1.pdf
Thank you for the information! Quick question, as I don't have my PP on me right now to test, with the AGPS it says to run `AT+QGPS=1` to start the GPS, is that just ran in the command line? I don't have any real experience with working with modems in general though I do have experience with a handful of programming languages.
